Hash Brown Waffles with Sausage-Apple Patties and Fried Eggs
This recipe has diner food written all over it—exactly my intention. Instead of classic waffles, I serve up my sausage and eggs with crispy hash brown waffles, which I promise you, taste better than a side of fries. The dried apples in the sausage patties add just the right amount of sweet, caramelized flavor.

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 25 min

1 pound (500 g) sweet Italian sausages, casings removed

1/3 cup dried apples (about 1 ounce), finely chopped
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
¾ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1½ pounds/750 g)—peeled, grated and wrung dry
½ medium onion, grated
4 large eggs, at room temperature
Ketchup, for serving

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the sausage, apples, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, ½ teaspoon salt and 1/8 pepper; shape into four 4-inch patties, about 1/3 inch thick.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the potatoes, onion, 1 tablespoon oil and ¾ teaspoon salt.
4. Preheat a Belgian waffle iron to medium-high heat. Grease the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Mound ½ cup of the potato mixture in each waffle quarter; close and cook until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper; cook, turning once, until whites are set and yolks are slightly runny, about 3 minutes.
6. To serve, place a waffle on each of four plates; top with a sausage patty and a fried egg. Serve with ketchup.
